Early voting lines are long, so plan ahead to wait in line for at least an hour if voting in Boise!!

Tonight on the news they said that early voting at the county's election offices is heavy, and that the lines are still as long as they were last week.

Mail-in voting ended on Halloween.
If the envelope containing the ballot wasn't postmarked by October 31st, the ballot won't be counted.
Only early voters showing up to county election offices are allowed before Tuesday.

They said tonight that the number of voters showing up to vote early are "Clintonesque", in that as many people are choosing to vote early this year, like they did back in 1992.

Heavy voter turnout favors Democrats!!

We had a couple of blue counties in 2008. Blaine county will probable be blue again. Boise will be purple at least. We have a very ineffective Democratic party statewide, many times the rethug goes unapprosed. We are ignored by the national organization.

I got in with no wait and was told "You hit us at just the right time". I drive right by this site a few times weekly to avoid road construction and it's been packed most afternoons. They can't all be repub voters here in purple Boise, or so I'm hoping.
